The pressure at what depth in seawater (density 1,025 kg/m3) is equivalent to that at a depth of 10.0 m in fresh water (density 1,000 kg/m3)?
Question
The pressure at what depth in seawater (density 1,025 kg/m3) is equivalent to that at a depth of 10.0 m in fresh water (density 1,000 kg/m3)?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for pressure due to a fluid column, which is P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height (or depth in this case) of the fluid column.
- First, calculate the pressure at a depth
